Emily in Paris on Netflix

I binge watched it- It was mindless fun and visually pretty- Also loved the clothes and her phone cover-

Although a small role, I loved her character in The Blind Side -- a perfect Thanksgiving movie-

Thanks for the suggestion travelsofar. I too watched it, and enjoyed it for what it is, just a bit of light hearted frivolity. Just what I needed today.

“ I’m not sure that it was as it was a positive statement.”
MawB2 Sorry you’re right. My only excuse is that it is required in such a sentence in Italian.

I came back on this thread as I've just been watching 'Emily in Paris' but seem to have wandered into a private argument!!
Not a private argument as far as I am concerned Jane10. Just some minor contretemps over wording and emojis. It's all in the nuances!

Oh. I came back on this thread as I've just been watching 'Emily in Paris' but seem to have wandered into a private argument!!
Can't say I enjoyed the programme. Emily is an idiot. Paris is gorgeous as ever and it's lovely to see it but I don't think I'll persevere with the rest of the series. Just too silly.

Well I loved Emily's faux pas with the word excitée.

I apologise most sincerely I misunderstood your emoji !!
Enjoyed that little exchange .,. Not actually sure if le subjonctif was warranted there... reminds me of the wonderful french lesson scene in The history boys

I’m not sure that it was as it was a positive statement.
But why refer to it in French? The Subjunctive is good enough for me.
My point was that nobody likes being talked about behind their back, in whatever language.
Apology accepted though
For reference should anybody need them here are the current lockdown emojis

exercised?

Heated, het up, agitato,

Certainly not “exorcised” ???

It’s really more of a spelling issue - based on the fact that the rest of your sentence was in English.

So would you also like to correct my use of the word vogue in my last post?
Also a nod to Emily's fashion sense in the film.

I understand “vogue” to be a perfectly acceptable English word
Do you have a problem with that?
Franglais can be terrific fun, but hardly something to get exercised about.

He he! Bonne idée!

Actually getting back to our original difference of opinion, Emily is the second most watched series on Netflix!

Perhaps we could move to Pedants’ Corner?

Teaching one's granny to suck eggs springs to mind!

^You use the masculin^
Call me old fashioned but I understood the grammatical term was “masculine” .

Call me current or in vogue, but masculin was used as a nod to Emily's struggle with genders in the film.

“Isn’t” not “doesn’t” Lucca and kindly have the manners not to discuss me as if I weren’t there.

Je crois que Madame Lebrun ait plutôt honte .....

No she bloody well doesn’t Lucca - what do you mean.??? but well done on the subjunctive (attempted) one-upmanship
The “eye roll “ emoji Ellianne is supposed to indicate “Hmm,” not necessarily incredulity.
But I bow to your superior experience, knowledge and doubtless academic achievement.

T'as pas besoin d'être incrédule MawB2

I have been watching The Indian Doctor on Welsh TV catch up and loved it. Also going through all the episodes ofThe Bridge, another excellent series. By the way has anyone watched Hinterland, I really enjoyed the series.
